Governor Okpebholo described the abduction and murder of the young medical doctor as deeply regrettable and painful but assured that the incident would not weaken the state’s determination to combat kidnapping and other criminal activities. He emphasized that the government’s proactive interventions and investments in security have mitigated what could have been a far worse situation.
“The kidnap and subsequent death of Dr. Abu Momoh Tapir is unfortunate and deeply regrettable. We extend our condolences to his family. While this incident casts a shadow over our efforts, it does not diminish our resolve to make Edo State safe,” Okpebholo stated. He urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to law enforcement authorities promptly.

Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central, has accused unnamed political actors of weaponizing the Peace Movement Party (PMP) to prevent the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) from participating in the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Senator Umeh argued that the ongoing legal challenges regarding the NDC’s logo are politically motivated. He dismissed claims of trademark infringement, asserting that the “victory-sign” logo is a universal symbol and not the exclusive property of the PMP.
Key points from the Senator’s claims include:
-
Timing of Legal Action: Umeh noted that legal efforts to nullify the NDC’s registration began immediately after high-profile figures—including Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso—joined the party on May 3, 2026.
-
Contention Over Logo Rights: He maintained that since the PMP is not a registered party with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), it cannot legally claim exclusive rights to the victory-sign symbol.
-
Status of the NDC: The senator’s comments follow a Federal High Court ruling in Lokoja, which recently set aside an earlier judgment that had ordered INEC to register the NDC.
The NDC has stated that it will continue to challenge these developments in court to ensure its eligibility for the 2027 electoral cycle.

FIERY RETRIBUTION! Military Jets Rain Hellfire On Bandit Strongholds Along Niger-Kaduna-Zamfara Border!.
The Nigerian military has launched a highly effective precision airstrike against a prominent bandit enclave in Dogon Dawa, located along the borders of Niger, Kaduna, and Zamfara states.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to security insiders who briefed Zagazola Makama, the preemptive strike was initiated after intelligence detected a massive convergence of armed bandits preparing to launch coordinated attacks on surrounding communities.
Key Highlights of the Operation:
-
Preemptive Neutralization: The aerial bombardment successfully hit the militant gathering, killing numerous bandits and severely crippling their immediate tactical plans.
-
Logistical Disruption: Post-strike operational intelligence revealed that hundreds of motorcycles were staged at the site, ready to facilitate a large-scale assault across the border axis.
-
Scattered Survivors: A thorough battle damage assessment indicated that the surviving militants—many sustaining severe injuries—fled via the Mangwaro axis into the deep forests between Shadadi and Ma’undu.
Strategic Impact The successful airstrike has shattered the bandits’ local command hierarchy and stripped them of their freedom to maneuver in the region. Security sources noted that this mission highlights a deliberate shift toward intelligence-driven air offensives, aimed at tracking and decimating criminal formations before they can harm civilians.
Furthermore, the operation underscores the strengthening synergy between ground intelligence agencies and the Air Component in neutralizing high-value targets throughout the North-West and North-Central theaters.

-
Administrative Actions: In addition to being declared wanted, the military has issued a signal noting that the bank accounts of these personnel have been frozen.
